Western artists seem to have this fetish of marrying older, ugly men. :P But congrats to her anyway

I don't think Russell is much older than her...around 9 years or so which isn't a lot compared to other female singers. And although he might not be handsome he does have a certain charm :) I think they're both wacky and I have my doubts whether they'll last but I hope they will :)

I hope she's happy :) and that they live prosperous and happy lives.

Wow haven't been to this thread in ages. I don't care for Katy Perry much anymore...the only songs I really liked were I Kissed a Girl, Ur so Gay, and Hot & Cold lol. But anyways, I wish the best for her and Russell :D.

Um, hello?

She has the #1 single in the world right now and nobody has mentioned it at all

^She did it!!! YAAAAY!
I'm so happy for her ^^ California Gurls is amazing, and I can't wait for the album *O*
She deserves that #1 =D
Btw, the preview of California Gurls' MV is amazing~

I love California Gurls :D

cherry dynamite, your signature makes me laugh every time!!!

LOL Thanks xD

Omg, I just looked up the song on youtube and...it's that song I just love hearing when it comes on the radio :thud I thought this was a ***** cat dolls song! She sounds like the lead singer so badly in this song! OMG IT'S KATY PERRY.

This song is awesome!

So can not wait for the full California Gurls MV <3. I want to badly own a whipped cream shooting bra

^that bra seemed so full of awesomeness XD

OMG I can't stop watching the video!!!!
That bra that shoots cream is SO AWESOME! xDD
And those gummy bears are so funny!!! GREAT MV!

I love her new song but I absolutely can't stand her personality any more... especially not how judgemental she is of other artists (hyori, gaga) :( I hope the rest of her new album is good, unlike her first album. The first two singles were good then it started to suck!

^ What did she say exactly? o_o

and I know what you mean. Up until now with California Gurls, I didn't like her very much. Just when she started out and ever since then she went downhill. Hopefully from here she does better :).

I just woke up five minutes ago from a dream I had starring in a music video with her.
WTF?

she uses her twitter as a way to express her opinions of other artists, which is her business, but i don't think it's a smart thing to do.

on hyori, she twittered something along the lines of "that chitty chitty bang bang song is the most egotistical thing i've ever heard" and with gaga, on the same day gaga's alejandro was revealed, katy twittered “Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.” a little bit hypocritical considering who her fiance is.

she later said (after getting her ass chewed out by gaga fans on twitter) that her comment had nothing to do about gaga but it's pretty obvious it did.

^ Wow, that's surprising...I had no idea :(.

^^ i love when artists express there opinion of other artists. go katy. like really. should she have to go around praising other artists. she can do the opposite. i dont even think what she said was so bad. shes not saying "gaga go **** urself" because thats more immature. . .(everything i just said is probably hypocritical of what i usually say on this forum. oh well)

i still cant get over this video. i love the gummi bears. soo cute. katy is doing so much better imo.

I think she's a horrible singer, her songs have no substance (she openly admitted she has never even kissed a girl), and to even have her a guest judge on American Idol was a complete mockery of the entire show.

lol too bad it backfired on her and she immediately retracted her statements and said it had NOTHING to do with gaga. yeah right, if you're going to talk about others, at least have a back bone and back it up.

She gets screechy at times and it's damn annoying, but I really like the California Gurls MV. It's so cutesy and fun that well, I like it. Plus, who hasn't wanted to go to a real candy land at one point or another? I know that after watching Willy Wonka way back in the day (the old one, that was actually GOOD), I always wanted to go someplace like that! ;)

^^^ that show is a joke now. look at ellen. i always wish we can get some precious talent from it.

^^lol. thats the only issue , now isnt it? not having backbone. c'mon katy. i know people have vicious fans but u gotta stick up for urself and opinions. she needs to learn how to say "kiss my a**" sincerely

^me tooo!!! plus i always loved the Candy Land board game etc. Willy Wonka is love. <3 teh mv is just too cute.

The Video's really cute I love the bra :D

I prefer Katy Perry's personality than Gaga's~

^^thats why that's the best part. I just adore. Everything was great from there

LOL That's one of the best parts of the video XD
I can't wait for the album!

Oooo, I loved that mean gummy bear! :roflmao

did you guys hear about how the candy company (who makes gummi bears) commented and said that Katy's video portrayed them in a negative light? i mean, really... it's just gummi bears.

Those gummi bears made me want to go out and buy some tbh. Negative light my ***

:roflmao
That is the funniest thing I have read all day!!
That part of the MV was the best~
I'm not a huge Katy Perry fan, but she seems to be doing well for herself.

Yeah, sure... xD
After watching those mean gummy bears I bought them... so please candy companies stop saying those things lol

Lmao. Seriously? It's nothing but promo for them! :laugh

I love her songs, but her performances are horrible

Katy can't sing at all live, and that's coming from a fan. She sucks. Thank goodness I only listen to her album and also thank goodness for those machines that can make you sound good. But her personality makes up for her lack of singing ability, I guess. Except California Gurls is a pretty boring song as well.

Have you ever noticed that California Gurls is eh... TikTok-kinda like.
Listen to Katy's refrain, with the refrain of Kesha in your head, and voila: WOOOOW, these songs are almost the same!

Not really, I think? I just don't like comparing people/music/things so I guess I wouldn't be sure.

Anyways California Gurls is holding up at number 1 xD

I just saw California Gurls. Her music is okay, but good lord she is hott :luv2

I like her music, and her videos are fun :laugh

I don't think so:no

LMAO. :laugh

California Gurls is... meh. I prefer her older songs. I kinda noticed the similarity with Ke$sha's Tik Tok, but God Katy's voice is so much better

But I'm pretty irked by the video... it's like they can't even do sex in a classy way.. just it's quite disappointing but oh well there must be a reason why it's the #1 song lol

Does anyone like I'm Still Breathing? Yeah I love that song.

^ :heart I love that one too!

Her song "California Gurls" is so good, I keep listening to it over and over again. And the music video is pretty creative. :)

My boyfriend is so annoyed with it now :laugh. It keeps on playing on the radio whenever we go somewhere. I still love it though :heart.

I like that song too :D

The chorus is very, very similar. I think it's normal for pop songs to emulate what's hot at the moment, like Miley Cyrus' Permanent December (the versus are similar to Tik Tok's). Also, California Gurls and Tik Tok have a common chord progression, says my friend :shrug

As much as I hate to admit it, California Gurls has grown on me >.<! I am kind of excited for her new album, her first album has quite a few songs I like :yes

Did anyone just watch the UStream on her official homepage, like I did?
She revealed the cover for Teenage Dream (new album), and it's pretty cool! :D

^I did!
I love the cover, she's gorgeous naked and covered by cotton candy ^^

Ah poo, seems I missed it :(

Nevermind, OMAI that is a gorgeous Katy laying there. <3 Was expecting some different considering the title but all is good

^ your avatar is cool:laugh

I would have expected something like Carlifornia Gurls cover. I would have loved blue hair again. But this is fine, too:yes

I was thinking the cover would be something colourful, her in a wig, and really fun. But agreed, this cover is fine :yes

I like the cover, I thought it would be something more fun though xD

I missed it. :( Where can I see it again?

I thought this was interesting.

I don't think the world could handle a Katy Perry x Ke$ha collab :laugh

(I know they're not, just a thought because of the mash-up).

they were done by the same producer. Katy introduced Ke$ha to him.

I heard Teenage Dream on the radio today and really liked it *___*

wow it looks reli interesting~ thank u!

I just listened to Teenage Dream and I like it! However, the chord progresion in the chorus is EXACTLY the same as California Gurls xD! She's making bank off one song really lol

I just heard her new song today, in the car! It's good, and I like the cover for her new album! Can't wait for it to drop. Is there a release date yet?

^August 24th

aw, i like the title hummingbird heartbeat :heart

I finally listened to Teenage Dream and I really like it:yes
I was a bit dissappointed with California Gurls that's why I actually didn't want to listen to it, but it was good:yes

The cover is nice~ a bit more colorful and it would be even better^^

Well the titles are a bit weird but I wouldn't ahve expected anything different from her:laugh

I can't wait to watch Teenage Dream music video :D The stills are awesome.

Ugh haven't heard Teenage Dream yet. Not worried since I know I'll hear it soon

Tracklist is confirmed on the official site
http://www.katyperry.com/news/

I will listen to Teenage Dream now! :D
Most of the titles are pretty cool :heart

^ I agree, I think most of the titles are fantastic :yes,

really like "Teenage Dream" :)
It took a few listens, but the "in my skintight jeans" or whatever parts toward the end are my favorite parts, haha.

But I really hope the rumors (according to Billboard) are correct about the cotton candy scented paper for the first press digipack :love

I also love the cover art. It's refreshing! Even though she's naked, it's not being used in a typical, "sex sells" way. At least, that's how I feel. I think it's tastefully done. And can't wait to get the cd in my hands! :D

Like the cover, like the song. Hopefully this time I'll also like the whole album :D.

Does someone have a good quality(or not so good, doesn't matter) version of the second picture of the video preview (the one that shows from 0:10 - 0:13)? At the moment I''ve no motivation for training (bad weather, no crush QQ), so this is somehow really important for me xD.

katy perry is nowhere NEAR mediocre. I can't believe you even stated that! Teenage dream and california gurls are amazing and katy has never been better because she's always releasing A material

I enjoy a lot California Gurls..mostly because i adore Snoopy! Anyway it's a nice summerish song, perfect for vacation

I am officially addicted to "Teenage Dream" :laugh Listened to it all morning, it's an amazing song! Just checked amazon and saw that the Limited Edition of the album will have a 2nd CD with her feat. songs with Timbaland and 3OH!3:heart

Teenage Dream <3 lovely song

btw can someone tell me the name of her husband?

Russel Brand? xD

I don't think they're married though, They're engaged though.

LOL Watch this.
Her boobs are real! I wish I was born with boobs like hers xD

Yes they're enganged and when I saw him in an interview lately he seemed to be a totally crazy guy :laugh

^ LOL He's a total psycho! I don't understand why Katy fell in love with such a guy but oh well he seems fun xD

As was I :P

Peacock sounds cool :D

omg Peacock sounds so cool and different, funky song!

Album Preview

omg the album sounds so good. I love Firework in particular!

Teenage Dream is AMAZING!!

I like Not Like The Movies :D

Aw, album previews were taken down :grumpy.

So Circle The Drain came out yesterday.

Fantastic <3 This is seriously going to be one of the best albums of this year, there hasn't been a bad song so far <3

I just listened to this for the first time..omg..it's BEAUTIFUL!!!:heart

I love Circle the drain and Peacock :D

the last promo single, ET, comes out tomorrow :3

Where can I listen to the other songs? I just heard California Gurls, Teenage Dream and Not Like The Movies so far, and the YT preview video was taken down before I could listen to it..

EDIT: Nevermind, found "Circle the drain" myself. Such a powerful song! Oh and saw the video for Teenage Dream. This song is definiately one of my favorites for this year!:heart

Demo version of ET > Mastered version of ET.

I wish the album would leak already :\

I think Teenage Dream sounds like California Gurls but I like both songs :)
